About the Performers

Storyteller Tim Ereneta enjoys sharing traditional tales with adult audiences at Fringe Festivals, house concerts, and stages like this one. Past performing credits include Fringe Festivals in Edmonton, Orlando, San Francisco, and Fresno and the mainstage company of BATS Improv. He was formerly a singing dinosaur at Lawrence Hall of Science.

Bruce Pachtman’s “Solo Show #2” (working title) is being directed by W. Kamau Bell and developed with Club Solo and David Ford. Bruce’s first solo show, Don’t Make Me Look Too Psychotic, was created at The Marsh and had runs in San Francisco, Philadelphia and LA.

Neshama Franklin has been around the block, in NYC, SF, and finally Bolinas. She started to tell stories with her first words but honed her skills down the line at the Fairfax library where she works and with David Roche, et al. Now she offers folktales and personal stories at many venues and is delighted to be back at Tell It On Tuesday.  She has a local radio show in which she reads whatever has caught her fancy—and she reads omnivorously.

Maryclare McCauley has been involved with theater in one way or another for the past thirty years. She began studying the craft of storytelling about two years ago, with David Ford. For an audience member, is seeing Part 2 (of a three piece show ) similar to coming in at the middle of a performance and leaving before it’s over? She hopes not! Not tonight anyway. Enjoy!
